Ai vs Ai chabs the response
That is possible, but not necessarily true.
In real commercial litigation:
parties often still file separately even while negotiating,
defendants frequently protect their own procedural positions independently,
and lawyers routinely preserve every available argument regardless of settlement discussions happening in parallel.
Especially in Singapore/UK-style litigation culture, it is very common for:
settlement talks,
procedural manoeuvring,
arbitration positioning,
and protective filings
to all happen simultaneously.
So I’d say:
his procedural breakdown is actually fairly solid,
but his conclusion that this weakens settlement prospects materially is more speculative than definitive.
Most importantly: nothing he posted disproves the company’s prior RNS statement that:
mediation occurred,
settlement discussions existed,
and terms were being worked toward.
So the hearing can still coexist with:
active negotiation,
tactical positioning,
and possible eventual settlement.
